No Wahala, right?
Drag your thoughts away from your troubles… by the ears, by the heels, or any other way you can manage it. ~Mark Twain
No Wahala as they like to say over here. No worries By the Aussies, Maak je geen zorgen by the Dutch, this way every county has its own way of saying that we should not worry. All though there are many different way of saying not to worry, most of us do this constantly. For some of us it is almost second nature. I really wonder why? Where is it coming from, is this what we learn during our life? Or does it come from somewhere else, maybe a need to be liked or to make sure we’re safe.
I received this picture last week and shared it on my facebook. It was funny how many replied or liked the picture. It is one of these visuals that resonate with you. I send it to one of my clients and she added a little something to it. As you clearly can see. It made my laugh, because this makes a lot of sense to me. Of course there is no need to be nasty with one another. We all need support in one way or another, but sometimes we just need to get on with it. Just do it.
My goal is to coach as many people as possible to be, in the best way I can. So I need to get out there and tell people about what it is Intuitive Coaching has to offer to you. To be ready to explain and talk about it. This is not the time to be shy or modest. Of course it doesn’t mean to become arrogant about my work. So to make it all more professional I have done some research about what to offer my clients. I joined International Coaching Academy to get my credentials as a coach, just to be give something back to by clients. To reflect back that I do my best to stay in top form. But joining and talking about is not the only thing that is necessary of course. So I got out there and started coaching new clients. These clients took me out of my comfort zone completely. I love it! It made me grow and my work took of as well. But to finish this work, there is one more thing that needs to be done and yes, I need to stop whining and just do it. They’re a lot of reasons why it is difficult or not happening, but basically it means I need to do it. Many before me have taken this step and gotten organized with their own challenges, so why not me. I have taken the first step and have my support system in place. I know now it will be finished and the feeling will be so rewarding.
What is it that you would like to start or finish? We all have those targets on our to do list and they have been on our list for a very long time. Stop moving it from one list to another. Put it now on top of the list and do it. Get a support system around you. This way you know you will see it thru this time. Trust me the feeling will be great.

Powerful post as usual :). Worry is one of the worst emotions that can totally hold us back, learning how to deal with it is very empowering. Thanks for sharing 🙂

Good post and thanks for sharing. I so agree with you. We have to get out of our little shells sometimes if we want to move forward. I am glad that you found a way to continue growing.

Thanks for your direct and simple post on worry. My teen-aged daughter gave me a book, Women Who Worry Too Much, for xmas. She meant it as a gentle prod and gave it with humor. We had a big laugh. But … I found it to be a great resource. Worry makes us feel like we’re “doing” something, but we’re not. The author is up to date on all the latest research on our brains, fight or flight, and the differences between men and women. Her name is Holly Hazlett-Stevens, in case you’d like to look it up.

Thanks for your thoughts and the name of the book. I will look her up. Renee

Well done! Stepping outside one’s comfort zone takes a bit of confidence, and fear has to be dropped. I’m reading a great book (although can’t think of the name of it off the top of my head) that talks about the necessary fear (that fight of flight) versus the neurotic fear (that’s the “voice” that is incessant and gets in the way of us moving forward). I’ll forward the title to you when I’m home and can get it. Great read for us personally and also for helping our clients.

You asked: What is it that you would like to start or finish?
My answer: My site’s re-design. I did a major overhaul of layout and function and it’s mostly in place, but it’s taking a lot longer than I wanted – Plus I have a large project for a client that is taking longer than expected too, though that’s all up to him.
But, I wanted to share this analogy too. I heard that worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but gets you nowhere by doing it.

Thanks Jenn! I really like the expression about worry. Look forward seeing your new website :).

Thank you for your post. I feel inspired and at the same time I have just started to make important changes myself. And the feedback is wonderful and beyond expectations. Since I have put myself out into the world and made myself available to others I have had so many miracles happen to me. I feel blessed for all the wonderful people in my life. Thank you Renée for being in it too. Love, Sandy

As always Renee another great post. I have gotten off my tail & have gone back to school. I haven’t been to school since 1977, didn’t graduate then but got my GED a few years later. I had been scared for years that I just couldn’t do it. I started to take 4 classes & have backed it down to two, English & Computer Science. It was a big step for me, especially since I’ll be 52 in a couple of days, but I’m doing it & loving it. Thanks again Renee. Lots of Love & Hugs

WELl DONE! Congratulations. Love Renee
